The Colombian singer Juanes once again mentioned the Argentine artists he listened to as a child, who, without him knowing it, shaped his artistic sensitivity. According to what Noticias Argentinas was able to confirm, in interviews where he usually reviews his childhood in Medellín, Juanes explained that Latin American folk music held a privileged place in his home. Juanes stated that his connection with the continent's regional music began precisely thanks to these groups, which showed him from a young age the richness of Argentine folklore. In addition, Juanes recalled that he also listened to Los Visconti, the folk duo that marked generations with their songs of unrequited love and deep melodies. They not only brought him closer to Argentine music but also taught him the importance of roots, tradition, and stories told from the soul. That is why, whenever he looks back on his past, the artist proudly highlights those groups that accompanied him in his childhood and, in some way, continue to resonate in the songs he performs today for thousands of people around the world. Throughout his career, Juanes has always highlighted the influence that various Latin American genres had on his musical training. For the Colombian, those voices and guitars were an emotional door: they brought him closer to a type of music charged with feeling and nostalgia, elements that would later also appear in his own work. Although Juanes ended up finding his identity in rock, pop, and Latin rhythms, he recognizes that those early listens were decisive. Among the vinyl records that were played over and over again were Argentine names that he now considers fundamental to his personal story. For the artist, Los Chalchaleros were part of the musical landscape of his childhood. Those harmonies, the bombos (drums), and traditional zambas arrived at his home through the records his parents used to listen to.
